I searched TGP but havn’t come up with any “interesting” threads. Just stuff about a Dumble tone. I’m guessing that it is some kind of boutique amp. Could you post a link to a good thread or explain what Dunble is?

Christianpyro–Dumble’s were an amp started in the ’60′s, I think, and gained a lot of popularity in the ’80′s. They’re famous for supposedly sounding better than any amp known to man, and having a completely unique circuit. However, no one really knows because they are incredibly hard to come by. The builder, Alexander Dumble, would actually make you audition to buy one. So he had to approve of your technique, style, and status before he’d let you purchase from him. Even after that, it would still cost you upwards of 10-20 grand (?), and you’d have to wait years for it to be finished.

Add to that, that the guy is a complete recluse, and no one really knows if he’s still building amps anymore, and now you have stigma, aura, controversy, scarcity, and collectability. And Gear Page seems to be the center of it all. You’ve got mountains of page-long threads over there, with the silliest arguments you’ve ever read, between the guys who can spend 50k on a used one, and then of course justify it by saying it’s the best amp ever, and those who have never played one, but just can’t let it go, and have to challenge everything. And yes…the arguments do always slip into correcting each other’s grammar. lol

So, obviously this is not one of my strongest posts. lol I just got really intrigued last night when I once again stumbled into one of the Dumble threads, and was just completely entertained for hours by the arguments. Definitely a study into people’s psychology. I guess that shouldn’t intrigue me so much, but it does. My apologies for a pretty sorry excuse for a post. hehe

Mark–oh ya. Totally. I completely forgot about the Ultimate Attenuator! I opened a thread on one of these a few months ago…and man! The opinions disguised as facts that flew around from people who had never even owned one! Wow! haha

Kenrick–uh oh. Ya, those definitely might be just as bad. Have you opened the one yet that mixes the subject of the axe-fx with the subject of Edge’s rig? So frightening! You gotta wear full on fatigues in some of these threads! haha

yeah when that one website posted all of edge’s gear, there were endless debates as to whether the axe-fx could cover it all. so enlightening. my favorite thing to do is to click the links in the poster’s sigs and see how awesome they are, it usually gives such credibility hahah… or not.

Dude, reading that contract, there is no way I would of bought from him, I don’t care how great the tone was… hrm… wait did I just say that… ugh, if I had the money to spare, but for those prices, I would like him to make me breakfast of something, I might even want lunch.

Wonder what a delay pedal from him would be like… Sorry had to throw that in for ya Karl.

Kenrick–haha Such a great idea, bro! It’s always nice to hear a ‘sample’ of someone’s musical tastes before taking their advice. hehe

Dan–holy smokes! Reasonably priced until you add up the $15 a minute phone charge with the guy to order the amp. Bro, you’re my hero for posting that. That is awesome! My favorite is the $50,000 if you want him to come up with something new. Man, I’m in the wrong business!

Tom–lol Oh, I’m sure I’d be insulted if I ever wanted to buy one. He’d probably have some choice words for me when I auditioned, and I’m positive I’d walk away empty-handed. hehehe Guess a Crate amp it is! hehe

Dan–wow! But wait…how’d he get around the contract he had to sign saying he’d never let the amp be in a place where someone could look at the circuit?

Matthew–haha Me either! I was expecting some old, wise-looking hermit, not a big metal-head that would frighten me!

Rhoy–hehehe Either he’s a complete genius, or the absolute king of marketing. Wait, that’s genius, too!

Shane–lol I’m the same way! Not sure I buy into all the hype…but yet there’s been plenty of gear I said was overhyped, and then played, and now own. However, I think I’m safe from ever owning these. I don’t have $50,000 for a used one, and I’m pretty sure I’d fail the audition process for a new one. hehe

And thanks. You have now dissatisfied me with all of life until I get a Dumble delay. hehe

Larry–it’s very possible. Or just high on himself. Okay, that was bad…but I do admit, I’m sure someday I’ll hear a Dumble and then spend my life trying to practice just so that I can pass my audition to own one. hehe

Kenrick–lol

Sam–hehe But it won’t have the magic!

Jeff–seriously! Even if the amps end up not sounding good, the marketing is amazing!

James–from the clips I’ve heard, they are definitely great sounding amps. But from your experience, would you say they are worth their going rate to the general public? Not to say, a John Mayer, because he can buy anything he wants and doesn’t have to worry about price. But is the tone so good and responsive that it would be worth it to us ‘normal’ folk to try to acquire one? And please, please, please say no, or I’m in trouble. hehe

Karl – if you’re ever in NYC, you should contact Ultrasound Studios. I think they sold one of their Dumbles (yes, they had multiple Dumbles!) last year but you used to be able to rent one of the rooms and play through any of the amps in the room (Trainwreck, Bruno, Komet, etc.)

I have to disagree with you there Elliot – Paul C., the maker of the Tim & Timmy, is a very approachable person as well as being very humble. He also doesn’t charge a ridiculous price for his product, even though his pedals are of the highest quality, nor does he make you sign a security agreement promising to never open up his pedal.

A social media marketing campaign can appear strange and different, even to people
who have plenty of marketing experience. The founders of Carbon Copy Pro,
Jay and Aaron, are constantly innovating and developing the system
to keep up with the fast moving creature called the internet.

However, as Shaver (2014) points out, the reality is that most sales executives do not have a common social selling methodology and
set of tools implemented at their business. Nowadays, with the number and diversity of social media
and networking sites available on the Internet, one
of the best ways to promote your business, whatever
it may be, is through the medium of social media marketing blogs.

Harnessing social media for marketing purposes can create more hype for one’s business.

To achieve the perfect publicity campaign, it must be thoroughly intended and carried out rationally.
E-Polling involves conducting online surveys on a company’s websites.
When the right search engine marketing processes are played an internet site
comes to be highlighted within the popularity range.
Psychologist and Doctors alike has also raised concern. In addition to this
compelling narrative, they must add images about the company, or its
owners to make the overall presentation of the profile more appealing.
